The box has a wide slot in the back, below which it is divided into one open compartment and one closed compartment, the latter having a hole in the cover and housing a drawer opening from the front. The top of the box has the form of a shallow tray having a hinged trap-door at one end. This door is directly above the open compartment. (Robert P. Multhauf, "Catalogue of Instruments and Models," 1961).
